§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales what percentage of overall public expenditure in Wales was represented by housing capital expenditure during the last 12 months for which figures are available.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsIn 1984–85 (the latest year for which firm figures are available) net housing capital expenditure. in Wales (£119 million) represented a little over 4.5 per cent. of overall public expenditure within our responsibility. Because public expenditure is measured net of receipts and other income, no account has been taken in this calculation of that element of housing capital expenditure which was financed by receipts. In 1984–85 this additional expenditure exceeded £98 million.
§ Mr. Ron Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Wales how many house completions were made in Wales in 1985; and how this compares with the figures for 1979–80 and 1982–83.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsIn 1985, 8,213 completions were made. This compares with 11,360 and 7,930 completions for 1979–80 and 1982–83, respectively.
